Germany’s SUIDAKRA are set to release their ninth studio album, Crógacht, an epic combination of melodic death metal and folk music, on March 9th. The album was recorded at Gernart Studios with producer Martin Muchwalter and features artwork from Belgian graphic artist, Kris Verwimp, who also happened to write lyrics for the concept album.

Crógacht means bravery, and is based on one of the most dramatic tales in Irish mythology. It tells the story of the hero Cuchulainn’s epic journey to the Isle of Skye, where he seeks to learn the arts of war from the Scythian warrior woman Scathach. The decisions he then has to make set the events in motion that will lead up to his son Conlaoch’s tragic fate.

Check out a video for the track, “Swords,” taken from the new album:

SUIDAKRA will be hitting North America, alongside TYR and ALESTORM, as a part of the Pagan Knights Tour. Here are the tour dates:
